With the toml package, the contents of a TOML file can be loaded into a Python dictionary. Below is an example of reading a TOML file named configure.toml into a config dictionary.
# This is a comment in a TOML file named configure.toml
title = "TOML Example"
[owner]
name = "Tom Preston-Werner"
dob = 1979-05-27T07:32:00-08:00
[database]
enabled = true
ports = [8000, 8001, 8002]
data = [ ["delta", "phi"], [3.14] ]
temp_targets = { cpu = 79.5, case = 72.0 }
[servers]
[servers.alpha]
ip = "10.0.0.1" # This is an inline comment
role = "frontend"
[servers.beta]
ip = "10.0.0.2"
role = "backend"
import toml
# Load the TOML file into a dictionary
with open('configure.toml', 'r') as f:
config = toml.load(f)
# Print out values from the TOML dictionary
print('title is:\t\t', config['title'])
print('ports are:\t\t', config['database']['ports'])
print('servers alpha role is:\t', config['servers']['alpha']['role'])
The above Python code prints the following:
title is: TOML Example
ports are: [8000, 8001, 8002]
servers alpha role is: frontend
